Has anyone noticed some significant unpublished changes in damage or weapon stats? Mystic spear hand is hitting like a wet noodle on hard mode in Norgan. I switched to the ol sword and board and did significantly more damage with less stamina consumption overall.
Mystic spear hand was heavily overtuned in the base game and now it feels more balanced. I’ve read magic bow is feeling different. Loving the update so far I think they crushed it.

First someone sends him back with an eyepatch (which he has worn since, thank you) and now this. I had to stifle my laughter, it was so unexpected lmaooo amazing. I love this dang game, I hope you're all having as much fun as I am.

i did change him back into winter clothes. can't be out in this weather in our princess leia cosplay, unfortunately.

Two different situations I caught today, Always make sure you look carefully before hiring 🫪 I lost about 300 RC when I wasn't paying attention, even though it was a few RC still stings a little lol as for getting 1 gold for x9 norgan ducat that's a horrible deal 😭

This is the only one I’ve found via spoils but still, much better than the 0 we had in base game. Hoping they can come in other elements too. We can finally use the enchanted counter core skill without relying on a mage or grimoire!

Not my character BTW.

I want my giant four headed snake back NOW

At the start of your adventure Sagittate Avalanche will not be as effective. In Norgan you will need to change strategy.

There are 2 skills that made my experience enjoyable since i started the DLC :

Boltchain stake : This skill is great for bosses and multiple enemies running straight at you. DO NOT AIM : Just press the spell and land as many as you can (on ground, on enemies) while moving. It will act as shock trap that pin down bad buys and stop them from getting at you or your team, on top of adding tons of dmg over time. Get the updated version as soon as you can through spoils it really makes a difference.

Blazefang arrow : This skill genuinely melts stuff. Same thing : DO NOT AIM it is a waste of time and it puts you in danger ! Land one or two in combat while moving, watch it explodes and burn creatures.

When these spells are effective on the battlefield, use your passive (protacting arrow) to add element to any arrow you shoot for a little while.

You can then, and only then, use saggitate avalanche on enemy weakpoints !

Saggitate avalanche works best when there are multiple flying enemies or when there is no immediate threat.

I really like the fact that you need to actively think which arrow to use now. Before the DLC Magic archer was way too strong for my liking. You basically spammed Sagittate and everything died. Now it needs proper setup and good use of relevant skills to stay alive as it lacks any survability.

My twink elf is both a great damage dealer and a great support (kills setup and healer) for the team. If you have given up on magic archer don't ! You just need to get used to the new playstyle.

Hey everyone! I've been working with a small team to update our Dragons Dogma 2 maps with all the new Dark Arisen content. We're mapping the new region, Norgan, all the new dungeons (including the Lost Rites), and marking everything you can find along the way.

We've included screenshots and guidance on every marker, and the map is fully integrating with our database, which is also getting an overhaul.

Our Norgan map is on a separate layer at the moment, but we're planning to merge it with the base game map in a couple of days, so bear with us. For now, you can switch between the two with a couple of clicks.

You can check out the map here! You'll find...

• Treasure: Spoils, Chests, Loot Piles, and the new Norgan Ducat collectible.
• Exploration: Obelisks, Portcrystals, Riftstones, Campsites, Tether Posts.
• Items: Curatives, Implements, Valuables, and Materials.
• Equipment: Relics, Weapons, and Armor.
• Dark Arisen Dungeons: Click the stacked squares icon to switch map layers.
• Lots more: Main and Side Quests, Monster locations, NPCs, Shops, and more!

You can find the full set of maps for the whole game here, including all the base game maps, or you can browse the database if there's something in particular you're looking for.

We're still working our way through the back end of the expansion, but we're filling out the new maps quickly. Feel free to use the "Suggest Markers" function if you spot anything missing in the meantime.

Enjoy the game, folks!
